Note
Ensure the ham is fully cooked before starting; this recipe is for reheating and glazing.
For a spicier kick, add an extra tablespoon of prepared horseradish.
If using a spiral-cut ham, wrap it tightly in foil before baking to prevent drying out.
Leftover ham can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months.
Adjust baking time based on the weight of the ham; generally, allow 15-20 minutes per pound for a fully cooked ham.
Save the drippings from the roasting pan to make a quick gravy by whisking in flour and broth.
